Emergency services had to come to the rescue of a man who had fallen down an embankment during the early hours of Wednesday (February 22).
Shortly after midnight, Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team was contacted by the Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) with a request to assist their crews en route to a report of a man who had fallen down an embankment on the North York Moors near to Danby Head.
Two double-crewed Team Land Rovers were sent whilst other members headed to the incident using their own vehicles.

The first mountain rescue Land Rover arrived shortly after a YAS paramedic and the casualty was located a few minutes later, approximately 20-feet down an embankment not far from the roadside.
He was assessed by the paramedic and a mountain rescue team member and warmed up with a hot drink and by being wrapped in a mountain rescue casualty bag.
As he was unable to move, he was then lifted onto a rescue stretcher before being carried up to the top of the embankment using a rope system.
Once at the top he was taken into the ambulance for further assessment and left in the care of the ambulance crew.
